The European Union has initiated a dispute complaint regarding Chinese Taipei’s wind installation measures. The EU asserts that the measures contain domestic content requirements, which are inconsistent with provisions under the World Trade Organization's (WTO) General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the Agreement on Trade-Related Investment Measures, and the General Agreement on Trade in Services.
Further information can be found in document WT/DS625/1.
A request for consultations formally initiates a dispute within the WTO framework. Consultations provide an opportunity for parties to discuss the matter and seek a satisfactory solution without resorting to litigation. If consultations fail to resolve the dispute within 60 days, the complainant may request adjudication by a panel.
